Did you ever feel like the answers are elusive? I feel like that a lot lately. Last night I looked out of my window in the back room and saw the moon fade in and out of the dark clouds, and was fascinated. I thought about trying to capture a picture but decided to just embrace it. In the day to d

Margie has been with me the longest and is absolutely in charge. Most of her day is spent atop the sofa in my rear largely windowed room. She watches the front carefully, and if anything or anyone, animal or person passes by my home she lets the rest of my gang know and clearly they tell all that

I have been running for weeks. I needed to liquidate my space at an antique gallery where I had been for years. It came on quickly and without notice and I had more inventory than I would have had I know. I am out now and selling online but the task was physical, difficult, and some things were b

It is important in life, not just business to know when it is time to move on. If you are constantly having second thoughts, it is time. If the responses you receive are never satisfying, it is time. If you are always exhausted and never feel good it is also time. I talk with so many professional

Tonight Yom Kippur. It is a time of fasting and reflection and it is tough. It is for me a time to take stock and think about what I am grateful for, and what I want in the future and how I can get there. Today I have errands to do and food shopping to get to. See you later.

I had a productive day today. I wrapped and mailed a number of items I sold online. I wasn't planning on mailing my posted antiques and collectibles but sometimes it is more cost effective for the buyers than driving here. Over the weekend I had a repeat customer come by to pick up something he b
